HTML <center> not centering fully - Drizzy - Jun 8, 2014
Hey guys, I have a problem. When I use the <center> tag, it doesn't center it fully. Whatever I try to center is still leaning towards the left side.

You shouldn't even be using that tag. It's not supported in HTML5. Use CSS for centering.

Pretty much this; however, HTML5 does not practice deprecation. There are only features and obsolete features; therefore, <center> may be obsolete, however the specification still requires that browsers support it. So you can continue to use it, but it's considered obsolete and not recommended.
The reason for making <center> obsolete was because the specification is now trying to push web developers into the separation of page content and page styling.
But to solve your problem, we need the code.

Use CSS instead.
PHP Code
<?php
<style>
body{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
.container{
background-color: red;
width: 1024px;
height: 100%;
margin: 0 auto;
}
</style>
<div class='container'></div>

You're wrong. The <center> tag was deprecated in HTML 4.1 and has been removed from the specification, going on a few years now. It's the browsers themselves that chose to still support it, but not all browsers do.

Oh, my bad. I thought <center> was only recently removed in HTML5 where the specification no longer deprecates features. Sorry!
